Ireland

Kinsale, Ireland, on the southern Cork coast, is a generally active village. Fishing occupies the time and interests of many. Good restaurants abound. Bread-and-breakfasts line the colorful streets. But even in this lively village, one street in particular stood out. It just couldn’t stay still! Colors - bold purples, excited yellows, and flashy reds - seemed to jump from the walls of the buildings. Flowers burst from windows, sills and containers. Even the sidewalks undulated with dips and rises to escort rain waters away from doorways. And the result? A veritable wave of color.
